You seem to have a very close point of view to mine. I know exactly how you feel. It just doesn't feel like it used to. Sad thing is, things are gonna change, and there's no real way to go back to how it was now. You can't remove godlikes from people. You can't wipe everyone's inventory because of donations, which is completely understandable. Things have just changed. Some people like it, some people dont, i miss how things were in the first year or so, but i've come to terms with how the server is now and have realized that it may just not be for me anymore, which is fine. But I do know exactly how you feel. It does suck when the magic and mystery of new godlikes are spoiled within half an hour.
EDIT: Maybe also the eco update just needs time to realize it's effects, but so far it seems like everyone just knows exactly how to not lose profit. It also is a bit of a downer that many people were able to buy up a bunch of cheap godlikes before the update and give them a huge economic advantage when the update did drop.
